   Noted. Luba clearly wasn't the best challenge/comparison with     
   your Anneke. :(  But I was primarily highlighting the     
   performers ability to deliver a piece with emotion. I thought     
   the melody was pretty darn good too.   
      
   Does you Anneke write music too? ..or is she just an     
   interpretive singer?   
      
   I'll try to come up with alternative suggestions (comparing to     
   Anneke)  ..a bit later.  Meanwhile, check out Sarah Brightman's     
   inter interpretations of:   
      
     Dust in the Wind   
     A Whiter Shade of Pale   
     Captain Nemo   
     Deliver Me   
      
   The musical arrangements are powerful (great drums and beats!)     
   in some of them.   
      
   Brightman is clearly not a "rock" voice, but the recordings are     
   a pretty cool package as a whole.
